Chapter 263
"There's no time, a bunch of bastards with their ears cut off have already infiltrated this place" Pernod arrived with the medicinal liquid and explained: "Their goal is the crucial item for the next stage of the Mana Eye"
This caused Chromie who was still desperately trying to comprehend the tree leaf to be shocked.
"Soundless cult?" Chromie scowled. He had an unresolvable grudge against the Soundless cult, and after joining the Saint Hunters, he also carried out operations against the Soundless cult, which could be considered as revenge.
In truth, even the Soundless cult themselves took the blame for this, but they were evil cults, so it was normal for them to take the blame.
Whenever people from the upper echelons tried to assassinate someone, the blame would either be taken by an evil cultist or a serial killer, while the real culprit would still be a follower of God, a good Shepherd.
"How is your comprehension?" Pernod asked with a tired voice.
"Still a bit" Chromie smiled bitterly. Chromie said with a bitter smile. After his body was filled with mana, he could indeed sense that there was something in the leaves. However, he was too hasty in coming into contact with elven knowledge.
Because of this, there was always a barrier between him and that knowledge, and because of this barrier, Chromie couldn't learn anything from it.
"Then I can only proceed with the next step ahead of time" Pernod's face was hidden under his robe, after having Chromie drink the medicinal liquid, he led him to a higher spot on the tree, next to the new sprout.
"What is this?" Although Chromie no longer had his sight, he could still sense the thing in front of him through his senses, the calling that originated from his bloodline.
"The origin of the elves, you can call it the Tree of Life, or the Moon Tree" Pernod's voice became increasingly old and tired, his tone became solemn and sacred: "This is the final hope of the elven race, and this hope is now in your hands"
"I have protected it for several thousand years, now it is your turn, descendant of Farnate, heir of the elven race" Pernod's solemn voice gave Chromie a heavy sense of duty, causing even Chromie to feel a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"But this world is currently under the suppression of the seven Gods Church, we have no way to resist" Chromie shook his head. He was currently a half-elf, so his bottom determined his thoughts.
If he was still the captain of the Saint Hunters, the only thing he needed to do was eliminate the remnants of Pernod's faction. So what if he had been protecting them for over a thousand years? No matter how great the others were, that was their own business, he didn't need to pay for the greatness of others.
Now that he was a half-elf, a sinner who would be burned at the stake and purified as soon as he went out, he naturally had to sit on the elves' side. If the elves were strong, then as a half-elf, even if he would suffer some discrimination, he wouldn't be "purified" like this.
As a member of the Saint Hunters, Chromie understood just how powerful the Church was. Although the Hermit Order was powerful, the two of them were fundamentally different. The Church's strength lay in their foundation, with just Eternal Heat alone being able to suppress all opposition.
"So your mission is not to rebel against the Church, but to escape from this world." Pernod's mouth twitched a bit, then continued: "The Progenitor of the elven race, the will of the Moon Tree, is being suppressed within the Unrepenting Abyss, where the coordinates of other worlds can be found. As long as we can rescue it, we will be able to travel to another world and start anew"
"That is a new world, the elves will be able to repopulate there" Following Pernod's words, the scenes he had seen through his Spirit Vision over the past few days appeared in Chromie's mind. The elegant and graceful elves, their exquisite culture, the various elven beauties once again appeared in Chromie's mind. At the same time, the desolation of the elves when they were destroyed under the invasion of the seven Gods also made Chromie feel a bit of empathy.
"Let it live inside your body, then with the help of a large amount of mana, you will be able to grasp the Mana Eye, this is the only way" Pernod slowly explained: "Perhaps, you might even become the new God of the elven race"
"I have placed all of your belongings in a special place, as long as you can grasp the Mana Eye, you will definitely be able to find them. I have already repaired the Farnate family's ring, with it, you can once again disguise yourself as a human and blend in with them"
"The final hope of the elven race's 100,000 years of civilization is in your hands, everything is in your hands" Pernod lightly said, then left this place. His wrinkled face showed a hint of struggle, then returned to his hot-blooded self and charged towards the humans.
He had sunk too deep, the sprout could only bring him a sliver of clarity, and it was this sliver of clarity that caused him even more pain.
The flames began to burn, everything within the flames were dancing as if they were in a dream, the intense heat made the old elf once again feel the heat from his body.
A large number of Soundless cultists were madly attacking the surrounding fortifications, while Pernod was desperately defending under the Moon Tree's control, buying time for Chromie.
Meanwhile, Darr was hiding himself. These Soundless cultists had arrived just in time to draw the majority of his attention. If there was no mistake, their arrival should also be part of Lord Negri's plan, this was a kind of instinct he had towards his idol.
In other words, there must be a way to stop the gears inside, there must be. Darr could feel the presence of death approaching, he had no other hope, so he could only trust in Negri and walk this path to the end.
"They won't be able to hold on for long, increase the intensity of our attacks, the glory of God is about to shine upon us!" The Grand Priest wielded his scepter with unprecedented excitement. He could already sense the pure mana, and with this mana, they would be able to immediately perform the God summoning ritual. Furthermore, this was the underground ruin, without the interference of the Sun Shadow church, the ritual could be said to have a 100% success rate.
"The right time, the right place, and the right people are all on our side, this is the revelation of God, this is the favor of Fate, this is our rise!" The Grand Priest watched as the flowers that could cause people to faint were burned to ashes, his heart becoming more and more excited, feeling as if he was the one chosen by the Heavens.
These flowers that could cause people to faint weren't simple, and from another perspective, they were even more exaggerated, which was why they chose to attack with fire, constantly paying attention to the flames to prevent them from spreading any further.
All of a sudden, a desperate scream resounded. The ground in front of them trembled, a Soundless cultist screamed in fear, then was dragged underground. The true defensive line had begun to display its might under Pernod's control.
At the same time, inside the library inside the tree, Negri was standing on one side, reading an elven book in his hand.
